Algorithms can help detect Xylella fastidiosa - scientists Sophisticated methods presented at the XF-ACTORS conference 29 Aprile 2021 BRUXELLES, 29 APR - Thanks to satellites, probabilistic models, algorithms, remote sensing and citizen participation "we have the tools to greatly improve the effectiveness of surveillance against Xylella fastidiosa", French researcher Samuel Soubeyrand has said at a major conference on the plant pathogen. Scholars from all over the world presented sophisticated Xylella fastidiosa surveillance and early detection experimental tools at the final virtual meeting of the XF-ACTORS Project, a EU-funded research program entirely devoted to the plant pathogen. Tomàs Poblete of the University of Melbourne illustrated the
